As Hideous entered the hospital room, his heart heavy with concern for his son, he was met with an unsettling sight. Keisley lay alone in the hospital bed, his face marked with bruises that spoke of the violence he had endured.Hideous looked around to see if there's someone here, but none. No one was with Keisley right now. The person watching the floor told him that Sherly bought a dinner with George not too long ago, so he thought that Kyle was here at least. Anger boiled within Hideous as he took in the sight of his son's injuries, his fists clenching at his sides with pent-up frustration. He couldn't help but resent the person responsible for causing his son such pain.How dare they do this to him? He might have this silly little troublesome tongue, but it wasn't enough for them to do this. Looking at it, they must have no intention of letting him go. If it weren't for George's people watching over us in the dark, this might be something worse."It's my fault," Hideous muttered,
"Um, guys?" Everyone, including George, looked at Sherly. "Do you guys think it was Joseph who did this?"Silence. George knew that it was indeed Joseph who did this, and he knew that Sherly was just asking her family, so he did not make a sound. He did not voice his opinion. After all, he knew the truth the moment he read it with Sherly when it was handed to her. As Sherly voiced her suspicions about Joseph possibly being behind the attack on Keisley, Hideous's expression shifted from confusion to contemplation. "Indeed, he is someone that could do that. However, even if it wasn't that impossible to be him, we can't just tell it is him. After all, we lack evidence of pinning this mess in him," Hideous answered.Hearing his father's words, Sherly nodded his head. It was expected. His father, even though he is his enemy, wouldn't just wrongly accuse someone. Even though he thought it was possible to be him.Kyle, on the other hand, turned to Sherly and inquired about the basis for h
As the trial concluded with a guilty verdict for Joseph, the courtroom erupted into a flurry of murmurs and whispers. Well, it was what Sherly, George, Kyle, Keisley, Hideous, and the rest on their side expected, especially Hideous and the President. When they got the verdict, they did not even show a surprise expression. With solid and profound evidence presented in court, the verdict has already been decided. Sherly watched with a sense of pride and admiration as her father, Hideous, stood before the court, his unwavering dedication and determination evident in every word he spoke. She knew that her father was a lawyer before he became a part of the government. He did a lot of things that helped him earn the position he had today. Thus, she couldn't help but feel proud that he was her father.Beside her, George squeezed Sherly's hand in silent support, sharing in her sense of accomplishment. He saw her looking at her father in admiration. Then, a momentary memory flashed in her min
Sherly's Graduation day.Her family and George went to the K-University all together. They did not even bother to hide their identity and even Sherly's best friend and her husband went to witness her graduating.When the people saw who was surrounding Sherly out of the campus, they got stunned. First, not all peopel are aware that she is indeed the daughter of the Montenegro family even though it was announced by Hideous Montenegro before. They dont believe it. They thought she was just an adopted daughter. Who would have thought that she is indeed related to them by blood? Second, her boyfriend is really good looking. George is one of the center of attraction as he get ready for his girlfriend's graduation. Third, Sherly's brother. Everyone knew the two of them and they were excellent to their own field. Thus, it made them feel like they wnated to be part of the Montenegro family by marrying one of them. Fourth, all of the people, including Sherly's best friend, Solace and her husban
As Sherly stood on stage alongside her father, Hideous, she couldn't contain her excitement and gratitude. With a beaming smile, she turned to her father and whispered, "Thank you, Dad. I couldn't have done it without you." She paused and gave her a thumbs up. "You did appreciate finding me," she added.Hideous was stunned to hear his daughter's words, and all he could do was have his eyes glisten with pride as he wrapped his arm around Sherly's shoulders, whispering back, "I'm so proud of you, Sherly. You've worked so hard for this moment." His hug tightened a little as he added, "Sorry for finding you late."Sherly's heart swelled with emotion at her father's words, her eyes shining with tears of joy. "It's okay. At least I have you all in my life now. Thank you for always believing in me," she replied, her voice filled with love and gratitude.With a tender smile, Hideous squeezed her shoulder gently, his pride evident in every gesture. "Congratulations, Sherly," he said, his voice
As the group settled into their seats at the elegant restaurant, everyone looked around in a daze. Of course, this is the first time they have been in this kind of restaurant. Liam had tried too many times to bring them into this kind of restaurant, but every time he did, he failed. Because just when Solace got to know about it, she would refuse immediately.Solace's sister-in-law couldn't help but notice the conspicuous absence of other diners. There's only them inside this big restaurant. With a curious furrow in her brow, she turned to Sherly, asking, "Why is the restaurant empty? Did you say something happened that left the entire place empty and just us?" Her voice was filled with curiosity and confusion. Sherly couldn't help but chuckle softly. This big sister of theirs really still hasn't changed at all. With a twinkle in her eyes, she replied, "Oh no, it was empty because it was booked. I have a feeling it was probably my eldest brother's doing." She then pointed her thumb to
When Sherly finally finished her work outside the country, she decided to go and visit George. After all, her father and brothers were busy with a campaign. She'll help them, but not yet. After all, as an informant of the underworld, she needed to keep his neutral side even though they were her family. Unless some of their competitors are trying to do something bad to him, just plan; she will know about it. When Sherly arrived in front of the Rui Lin Mafia headquarters inside the underworld, she looked around and saw that there was no one. Maybe because of what happened in the recent war, the Rui Lin Mafia was able to win, and only a few people wanted to offend them. "Miss Sherly," Lary greeted her as she opened the door of the building.Sherly smiled at him. "Hello, Lary. How are you?""I am fine, Miss. It's good to have you here, finally," he said, as if wanting to cry.Sherly, as her instinct told her, knew that something had happened. "Hmm? Why is that your voice like that?""Li
Sherly might have witnessed George lose his composure, but not like this. At least when he lost his composure in front of her, he wasn't yelling like this. Maybe it was because she was in front of him; that's why. Well, either way, she finally saw him unable to control his voice, and this was good for her. However, she saw that the business from Vile Mafia that should have been given to Rui Lin Mafia was stolen. Maybe these people still do not know who it was. "Idiot! Stupid! Dumbass!"Sherly winced, and her jaw dropped at the intensity of George's words. She felt a pang of sympathy for whoever was on the receiving end of his wrath. She knew firsthand how driven and determined George could be when it came to his work, and she could only imagine the pressure his subordinates must be feeling under his scrutiny. Well, if they are indeed not doing their work at their best, she couldn't blame George. However, if they indeed just laid down and waited for their enemy to swoop their busines
